Stuart has committed some changes to update the Select Airport dialog to use [[Canvas MapStructure]] Layers to display airport information, rather than the now deprecated map layers. The change should be largely transparent to end users - the only significant change is that your can display navigation symbols. This is all part of a long-term effort to provide the building blocks for a Garmin G1000 - these layers could be used for the airport display on the MFD, and could easily be combined with the APS layer to show a moving aircraft.<ref>{{cite web

[[File:StuartsSlippyMap1.png|thumb|Stuart pushed some changes to fgdata with OpenStreetMap, OpenAIP and VFRMap layers for the Canvas Map Layer system, which can be seen on the canvas map dialog.  They use a generic Slippy Map OverlayLayer Map Layer. Additional web-based mapping can be trivially added by creating a new lcontroller.  See Nasal/Canvas/map/OpenAIP.lcontroller for an example.I've also added a Web Mercator Projection to the Canvas Map support.The wiki will be updated shortly.<ref>{{cite web  |url    =  https://forum.flightgear.org/viewtopic.php?p=319545#p319545  |title  =  <nowiki> Re: Canvas G1000 </nowiki>  |author =  <nowiki> stuart </nowiki>  |date  =  Sep 28th, 2017  |added  =  Sep 28th, 2017  |script_version = 0.40  }}</ref>]]
